Chapter 183 Return to Ning

The three of them walked slowly and laughed, Jiang Shu walked in the middle, Yu Zheng on the left, and Jiang Ning on the right.

Both of them were much taller than Jiang Shu, and she stood in the middle like a little girl who was protected and pampered.

Seeing Jiang's father and mother, Jiang Shu smiled and called out: "Dad, Mom, I'm back."

Jiang's father and mother smiled and nodded, and finally led the servants to pay their respects: "Meet the prince and the princess."

"Father and mother-in-law, please get up quickly. There is no need to be polite when we are family." Yu Zheng stepped forward quickly to help Jiang's father up.

Jiang's father said solemnly: "Although we are a family, we still have to observe the etiquette. It's just a formality, it doesn't tire us."

They were originally an ordinary merchant family, and were already looked down upon by others. Now that Jiang Shu married into the royal palace, if they did not observe the rules and etiquette, they would definitely be criticized and scolded.

It's just a formality, and it won't cost you a piece of meat. There's no need to cause trouble for Jiang Shu over this.

"Yes, formality is the right thing to do. Let's go in and talk." Jiang's mother took Jiang Shu's hand, and Jiang Ning helped Jiang's father into the hall.

"Please take a seat, Prince and Princess." Jiang's father and mother said.

Yu Zheng's status is too noble. Even if he is a son-in-law, Jiang's father and mother dare not sit at the head.

There is a world of difference between the royal family and the common people.

Yu Zheng was clear-headed, so

he didn't refuse and sat with Jiang Shu. Jiang's father and mother sat at the bottom, looking at Yu Zheng and Jiang Shu at the top, they didn't feel a little aggrieved or unhappy, but happy and relieved.

As parents, seeing their daughter have honor and special honor, they will only be happy and happy.

The family talked for a while, and Jiang Ning clamored to play chess with Yu Zheng, so Jiang Shu went to the garden with Jiang's mother.

When the bride was waiting at the door two days ago, Jiang Ning had seen Yu Zheng's knowledge and admired him. While playing chess, he would ask Yu Zheng for advice from time to time. Yu

Zheng answered every question, and talked about everything he knew.

Jiang Ning listened carefully, and his respect grew stronger.

He felt that if Yu Zheng took the imperial examination, he would definitely be the top scorer.

Fortunately, he was born in the royal family and did not have to participate in the imperial examination, giving others more opportunities.

Jiang Shu and Jiang's mother walked leisurely. After sitting down in the pavilion, Jiang's mother dismissed the maid and talked to Jiang Shu in private.

"Have you and the prince...consummated your marriage?" Jiang's mother looked worried.

Jiang Shu blushed slightly and nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Jiang's mother breathed a sigh of relief and stroked her chest and said, "It's good that it's consummated."

Although they all saw Yu Zheng's attitude towards Jiang Shu, Jiang Shu had been married to Shen Changze for many years and had not consummated the marriage. This left a shadow in Jiang's mother's heart, and she was a little worried that Jiang Shu didn't understand the relationship between men and women.

"I see that the prince treats you very well. You are not young anymore, so you should have a child sooner." Jiang's mother said earnestly.

Jiang Shu was a little shy as she was having sex for the first time: "Mother, I just got married, how can it be so fast?"

"I just want you to be more careful. No matter how well the prince treats you, you must have a child. Besides, if the prince treats you well, you should have children for him."

Jiang's mother was worried. With Yu Zheng's status, he would definitely take concubines in the future, so Jiang Shu must give birth to a legitimate eldest son first. You

must never suffer a loss a second time.

Jiang Shu was not an ignorant girl. She understood what Jiang's mother said. She pursed her lips and said seriously: "I understand, but this kind of thing can't be rushed. You can only let nature take its course. If I am pregnant, I will definitely give birth to it well."

"It's okay if you know it in your mind." Jiang's mother was a little relieved.

Jiang Shu had only been away from home for two or three days, but Jiang's mother felt that she had been gone for a long time. She had a lot to say in her heart.

After giving all the necessary instructions, Jiang's mother asked about the situation of paying respects in the palace.

"Are the emperor and the concubine satisfied with you?"

Jiang Shu nodded: "I thought that with my status, I would be despised and blamed, or at least scolded. But my father and mother are kind and loving, but..."

"Just what?" Jiang's mother's heart was lifted.

Jiang Shu said: "Just let me hold on tighter."

Jiang's mother understood immediately after hearing this, and then smiled and said: "This is as it should be, as parents, their hearts are the same."

"It's good that they are all tolerant of you, so your father and I will feel relieved."

Before Jiang Shu married to the Jing'an Marquis's Mansion, she was still under the control of her husband's family, and she would be scolded and disciplined if she did something wrong. Now that she has married into the royal family, Jiang's mother is worried.

But to her surprise, the emperor and the concubine treat Jiang Shu very tolerantly, which makes her feel relieved.

"I'm fine, mother and father don't have to worry about me, just take good care of yourself." Jiang Shu held Jiang's mother's hand, feeling a little sad when she thought that she would not be able to stay with her parents in the future. Jiang's mother

was reluctant to let her go, but she also knew that it was natural for her children to grow up and start a family, and it was a happy thing. She tried to hold back her sobs and comforted her, "There are many servants at home, and Ning'er is here. We are fine, don't worry."

"And the prince also said that you can come back often, and we can go to the palace when we miss you."

"Yes." Jiang Shu responded with a slightly warm eyed voice, holding back her tears.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while, and the servant came to report that the banquet was ready.

"Let's go and see how they are fighting." Jiang's mother stood up, and the mother and daughter smiled and went to the front hall.

"It's my turn, it's my turn, you've played several games, it's my turn now." Jiang's father used his crutches to shoo Jiang Ning away, asking him to give up his seat.

Jiang Ning said unwillingly: "I haven't played enough, I still have a lot of questions to ask."

Yu Zheng picked up the chess pieces and watched them argue quietly.

Jiang's father's temperament was somewhat similar to that of the emperor. When Yu Zheng faced Jiang's father, he felt like he was facing his father. Therefore,

when he was with Jiang's father and Jiang Ning, Yu Zheng did not feel awkward or boring, but was calm and natural.

"What are you arguing about?" Jiang's mother entered the room and asked in confusion.

Just now, they were still outside the hall and heard the argument in the hall.

After asking the father and son why they were arguing, the mother and daughter were at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

"Okay, no need to argue anymore. The table is ready. Let's eat first."

"Let's go, husband." Jiang Shu walked over and pulled Yu Zheng up with a smile.

After more than half a year of recuperation, Jiang's father's legs had mostly healed and he could walk short distances with a cane.

The family went to the flower hall and had lunch together under the flowers.

The maid poured wine for the guests, and Jiang's father introduced it, "This wine is the sweet-scented osmanthus wine brewed by Jiang's Wine Shop. It is very suitable for winter. Your Majesty, please try it and you will find it suitable."

Hearing these familiar words, Yu Zheng's dark eyes flickered slightly, he picked up the wine glass and sniffed it, and looked at Jiang Shu meaningfully.

Jiang Shu instantly remembered that she gave Yu Zheng sweet-scented osmanthus wine last year. Now it seems like a lifetime ago.

After a year, the same wine and the same people, but their relationship is different.

"How is it?" Jiang's father asked Yu Zheng expectantly, not knowing the reason.

Yu Zheng swallowed the wine in his throat and nodded, "It is mellow and soft, with a long aftertaste and a slight sweetness. It is indeed very suitable for warming up in winter."

Jiang Shu: "..." This sounded very familiar.

"Don't just drink, eat first." Jiang's mother picked up a chicken leg for Jiang's father.

Jiang Shu followed suit and picked up one for Yu Zheng.

Jiang Ning held out his bowl: "What about me? Is there no one to take care of me?"

Jiang's mother Jiang Shu glanced at Jiang Ning and picked up a chicken leg for Jiang Ning and put it in his bowl.

"Is it enough? If not, I'll give it all to you." Jiang's mother asked angrily.

Jiang Ning gnawed on the chicken leg and said, "No, I need to save my stomach for other things."

After hearing this, several people couldn't help laughing.
